a workaround for now would be to provide your own dotenv alias

we have it aliased in the webpack config, but for some reason, which Jarrod and I are working on now, the dotenv alias within the
bundler-webpack
package itself is not working

so if you alias it yourself, in the meantime, it will work

@jarrod_not_jared can you point to the ecommerce example?
